You can still download MusicScope and use it without a license. The company has folded, so it's not like you steal from them. https://sourceforge.net/projects/xivero-audio-tools/

Yeah, you're absolutely right. Too fast checking the prices.

After adding balanced out and Dirac room correction, the price is very close to the MiniDSP SHD Studio. Bummer. I think I'll go with the SHD.

I managed to get hold of a pair of used Revel Performa3 208 speakers. That was an upgrade! But I wish that they were white like these. Gorgeous!

I find it quite funny that some people think that when they use a power bank, they get clean DC voltage directly from the battery. All power banks use a buck converter. Also battery over voltage and current protection. The Topping D50 handles noise on the DC input very well. So you're just...

After using EQ with Roon on my Sennheiser 5XX, 650 and Audeze LCD-2 Classic, there's no going back. If one of the Cinese manufacturers would make a good portable DAC/amp combo with real PEQ, I would happily go back to wired headphones when on the go.

If they just could have working with Roon, I would buy it immediately. I usually do a search every other week to check the status. This unit would be perfect for my living room stereo.

Thanks for the RCA measurements! Unemployed at the moment, but still worth supporting this forum by Patreon.

The EU cap is such a stupid idea that the mind boggles. Just look around on any public transport and see how many uses the included earbuds versus upgraded headphones. I can only speak for Sweden, but I would guess that somewhere around 70% have replaced the headphones. And with better...

Why aren't there any decent audio streamers with Dirac Live or other corrections? I refuse to buy a unit "blind" without a thorough measurement by @amirm. After finding this site, I only purchase equipment that's been tested here. I haven't been disappointed yet, every piece of gear works great...

Well, if you want to go crazy, just get a used rubidium atomic clock or GPSDO from eBay for a pittance. Connect it to my frequency generator card, where you can get eight different frequencies at 0 PPM and replace all your oscillators in your DAC. It won't sound better, but it will be insanely...

Any chance of pictures inside?

It would be kind of interesting to see how it performs with a heat sink mounted.

I hate to say it, but it has pretty decent performance overall. I am still hoping for a reasonably priced amplifier a bit closer to the THX unit.

And when doing balanced, you don’t need to terminate at all.

You only need to terminate the unused input when doing unbalanced measurements. So remove the 50 ohm terminator on the input.

Did we go through the evils of feedback, jump to the benefits of meditation for use as a tool for audio testing, and now we're back at the sins of feedback? I’m going to apply my nihilistic approach for this one...

That worked like a charm! Thanks! Will update my article on my blog.

Just when I needed a review of the D70! Fantastic timing.

Yes, very awesome! And they are making the new version with XLR, so I’m really anxious to get my greedy little hand on the new board.
